Atglistatin has been used as a selective inhibitor of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL).[1][2]
Biochem./physiol. Wirkung
Atglistatin is a selective inhibitor of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL).
Atglistatin is the first selective inhibitor of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), the rate limiting enzyme involved in the mobilization of fatty acids from cellular triglyceride stores. Atglistatin has an IC50 of 0.7 μM in E.coli and no activity against monoglycerol lipase (MGL), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), or pancreatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase PNPLA6 and PNPLA7. ATGL generates diacylglycerol from cellular triglyceride stores, which is then degraded by hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and monoglyceride lipase into glycerol and fatty acids, promoting the synthesis of lipotoxic metabolites that have been associated with the development of insulin resistance. Atglistatin inhibition of ATGL has been shown to reduce fatty acid mobilization in vitro and in vivo.

After pregnancy, the corpus luteum (CL) functions as a transient endocrine gland that produces progesterone, which is necessary to maintain pregnancy. To maintain constant progesterone production, CLs are enriched in lipids as its precursors. Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles that
Abnormal metabolism, including abnormal lipid metabolism, is a hallmark of cancer cells. Some studies have demonstrated that the lipogenic pathway might promote the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the role of the lipolytic pathway in HCC has not been

Levels of circulating fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) protein are strongly associated with obesity and metabolic disease in both mice and humans, and secretion is stimulated by β-adrenergic stimulation both in vivo and in vitro. Previously, lipolysis-induced FABP4 secretion was found
